About this dataset

62 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Census of India 2011 Rural Urban Distribution of Population, published by censusindia.gov.in. The source is a 40-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include provisional population totals, registrar general & census commissioner, houselisting & housing census, population enumeration, urban population, rural population, sex ratio, child population. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 49 factual, 6 comparison, 4 list, 2 summary, 1 definition. 13 of the 62 pairs (21.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 49 are factual or table-based questions. 95.16% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
